Answer 1

Two example are -

• tryptophan to tryptamine.
• phenylalanine to phenylethylamine.

Answer 2

Answer:

Decarboxylation is a chemical reaction that removes a carboxyl group and releases carbon dioxide (CO2). Usually, decarboxylation refers to a reaction of carboxylic acids, removing a carbon atom from a carbon chain. The reverse process, which is the first chemical step in photosynthesis, is called carboxylation, the addition of CO2 to a compound. Enzymes that catalyze decarboxylations are called decarboxylases or, the more formal term, carboxy-lyases (EC number 4.1.1).

1. tryptophan to tryptamine

2. phenylalanine to phenylethylamine

3.glutamic to GABA
